Eluvium
()

The title Talk Amongst the Trees conjures up a suitable image, if you
consider talk amongst the trees to be the silence of the sunlight, the
buzzing of insects and animals and the soft rustle of wind in the
leaves....but no, it isn't a field recording of forest sounds. Talk Amongst
The Trees is decidedly minimalist, though; Eluvium uses layers of simple
tones and textures to create gorgeous moments of iridescent sound. This is
the work of bands such as Sigur Ros, Tsurubami or Sianspheric taken to its
hushed extreme, the mood never betrayed by human voices or sudden movements.
Instead, Eluvium's Matthew Cooper maintains his silence and lets the guitars
and effects do the whispering. Occasionally the music swells and you
expect it to culminate in a roar (as on the 16-minute "Taken") but Cooper
would rather play it tantric, finding pleasure in the build, not the
release. There's a fine line in minimalist, ambient music; it's the one
between stirring emotions and lulling the listener to sleep. Cooper goes
for a bit of both, using his music to create a wide-awake dream state.
